In response to What have we learned from last year’s Optus outage?

IT Outages

The Optus outage was Australia-based. The Crowdstrike event was international (minus Russia, China, DPRK, Iran etc {who must have been laughing themselves stupid at ’the West’}).

Therefore, unless the rules are worldwide, there is little to be gained.

It has been said that Crowdstrike’s market share is 17% but I wonder whether the economic impact was considerably more.
